Our stylish French friend serves us tea in glasses like these whenever we visit. So of course we had to buy some for you on our last trip to France.
About Moroccan tea glasses
Moroccan tea glasses, also known as Moroccan tea cups or Moroccan tea glasses, are traditional glassware used for serving tea in Moroccan culture. Tea holds a special place in Moroccan hospitality, and the tea ceremony, known as “Moroccan mint tea” or “Maghrebi tea,” is an integral part of Moroccan social gatherings and daily life.
Moroccan tea glasses are typically made of clear or colored glass and have a unique shape and design. They are typically tall and narrow with a curved silhouette and a flared rim.
The traditional Moroccan tea glasses are usually small in size, allowing for multiple servings from a single teapot. This encourages the practice of pouring the tea from a height, creating a frothy foam on the surface. The small size also allows for frequent refills and ensures that the tea remains hot throughout the serving process.
Moroccan tea glasses are not only functional but also hold cultural significance. They are considered a symbol of hospitality, friendship, and generosity. Serving tea in these glasses is a gesture of welcoming guests and creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
In addition to serving tea, Moroccan tea glasses are also used for other beverages, such as Moroccan coffee or traditional herbal infusions. They are versatile and can be used for both hot and cold drinks.
Whether used for serving tea or as decorative pieces, Moroccan tea glasses add a touch of elegance and exoticism to any table setting. Their unique design and cultural significance make them a fascinating element of Moroccan tea culture and a beautiful addition to any collection of glassware.
